David is one of the most diverse and consistent producers out there. That's a rare find these days.

Starting his career in the early Electronic music days David’s experience and knowledge of the industry is unparalleled and this has resulted in him producing in a multitude of styles and there hasn’t been a label that his Midas productions haven’t graced over the years with releases on the scene’s most respected labels – WAO138, Subculture, ITWT, Statement Records, Anjuna Beats, Vandit, Spinnin, Reset, Oxygen, Perfecto, Liquid, Doorn, Ferry Corstens Flashover Recordings, Captivating Sounds, AVA, Coldharbour, S107, 68Recordings, Black Hole, Ministry Of Sound, Universal, Sony, Whoop, Five AM, Eve and Noom records to name just a few.

David’s Productions have also featured on many big hitting compilations over the years from major artists such as Paul Van Dyk’s very first Politics of Dancing compilation, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Sander Van Doorn, Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Gareth Emery and last but by no means least Tiesto who included ‘Answers’ on his now legendary ‘Tiesto in Concert’ DVD (the only UK artist to do so) meaning that David has rightfully earned his place as a household name in the upper Echelons of the Dance Music Fraternity.
